MITCHELL, LEWIS & STAVEH CO,, 

PORTLAND, ORX. apl 



&.TUBNS, April 28.— Describing the 
Greek retreat from Lariasa the corres- 
pondent of the Associated Press says ; 

The road was strewn over with dead 
and dying animals, men, women, and 
With ammunition boxes, broken carts, 
and furniture, the bedding of soldiers, 
blankets and tin pannicanB. The latter 
rattled under Uio horses feet, blankets 
became entangled in them, and t he ani- 
mals, frantic with alarm, galloped about 
among the Hying crowds, many oi thorn 
riderless and deserted. Guns and am- 
munition waggons and carts added to 
obstruction. Their traces were cut in 
order to enable the riders to mount the 
horses attached to them and seek safety 
in flight. There were many struggles be- 
tween the fugitives for the possession of 
horseH, and in this manner the fright- 
ened crowd struggled on for several 
miles, presenting a most vivid picture of 
disaster and fear. Some of the Oreek 
officers, it is true, did their duty, They 
ordered the bugles and trumpeters to 
sound "cease tiring, 1 ' and rode about 
calling upon the fleeing soldiers to halt;, 
but others of the Greek officers lost their 
heads and fled onward as terror stricken 
as the soldiers. One brave officer tried to 
bring his men to their senses bv pre- 
senting a revolver at them anil shouting 
"Stop!" but he might as well nave 
called upon a whirlwind to stop. 

"General Mavromichaelis, who hud 
evidently reached Larissa some tune i 
fore, rode back some diainii. 
in order to arrest the stampede. 
Two miles from the Larissa road 
is situated an embankment, where 
the general succeeded in inducing a 
company of footsore infantry to fall in. 
But thousands continued the pell mell 
rush for Larissa. There was a block at 
the bridge across tho Salambria river at 
the entrance of Larissa. Another terrific 
scene was there presented, (iuns, men 
and horses struggling in a fearful mass. 

" In the streets of Larissa was inde- 
scribable confusion. Troops of all arms 
wevo mixed together and threw them- 
selves down in utter exhaustion, heed- 
less of the calls of trumpets ami bugles 
summoning them to fall in. The in- 
habitants, rushing about the streets, 
intensified the confusion. Mere 
mention of Turks was suffici- 
ent to create a frenzied rush. 
Some estimates of the number of deaths 
which occurred during the stampede 
and indiscriminate firing say that from 
500 to 000 persons were killed. Hut your 
correspondent thinks these figures are 
exaggerated, though people declare they 
have seen many wagons bearing dead to 
Larissa. 

"The first hours of daylight were 
spent by the Greek officers in assem- 
bling their scattered troops and sending 
them to Pharsalos. The troops contin- 
ued the march without any refreshment, 
and it is alleged that many of them had 
not tastetl food Bince Friday morning. 
When it became known that Larissa 
was to be abandoned there was another 
panic. The women, and even the child- 
ren, went about drawing their hands 
across their throats, showing what they 
expected of the Turks, and in nn in- 
credibly short time the roads leading to 
Pharsalos and Yolo were crowded with 
poople, vehicles and animals, the latter 
bearing all kinds of household effects. A 
special train of trucks took to Volo about 
4,000 people af every degree, the passen- 
gers hanging to the roofs and platforms 
like a swarm of bees. But the majority 
trudged along on foot and many of the 
refugees threw anxious looks behind at 
Larissa fearing every moment a rush 
from the Circassian cavalrv. By 1 :'M

Guthrie, O.T., April 28.— A terrible 
flood in .the Cottonwood reserve, sud- 
denly engulfed West Guthrie shortly 
after sunrise. About tl o'clock this 
morning the river began to rise, jump- 
ing four feet in 30 minutes. At West 
Guthrie, which is thickly populated, 
mostly by negroes, the river burst from 
the banks and the raging witters for half 
a mile swept across the valley, carrying 
houses, barnB and fences before it. Re- 
ports of appalling loss of life as the re- 
sult of the flood are in circulation, some 
placing the number at from one to two 
hundred. The property Iosb ia variously 
estimated at from $200,000 to $500,000. 
The main residences and business por- 
tions of Guthrie proper were unharmed.

AGAINST THE KING. 

Pjpular Ferment in Athens Against George 
of Greece Becoming Graver. 

Athens, April 2S (noon).— Again to- 
d.ty there was no meeting of the legisla- 
tive assembly for want of a quorum, 
therefore the extraordinary session of 
that body was further postponed. 

There is now quiet. The British 
minister here, Mr. E. H. Gratton, paid 
a long visit to the King yesterday, and 
the newspapers connect the incident 
with tiie possible intervention of Great 
Britain in the war between Turkey and 
treece. The report that tho King was 
compelled to sign a decree recalling 
Prince Constantino from the frontier is 
unfounded, The Crown Prince will re- 
main at tho head of the army. 

London, April 28. — A special dispatch 
from Athens this morning says that a 
general engagement between the Greeks 
and the Turks is expected to-morrow at 
Veliatino, where the Turks have just 
been defeated. 

London, April 28. — A special despatch 
from Pntrasa on the Gulf of Latras, west 
coast of Greece, attributes the reverse of 
the GreekB in lCpirus to deficient trans- 
port arrangements. When the Turks 
iiastily retreated from before Arta, it 
appears the Greeks had a magnificent 
opportunity, which they threw away. 

The Patras dispatch further says: " A 
melancholy incident occurred yes- 
terday. A countryman brought news 
(bat the Turks were approaching 
while the (ireeka were retreat- 
ing from 1'hillipiada towards Arta. 
Colonel Bottzaris sent two companies to 
the top of a hill to reconnoitre. The 



p.m. Lariasa was emptied, instead of 
following the troops to Pharsalos the 
correspondent, in order to get oil 
Liis dispatches, pushed on to Volo, 
where there was a panic al- 
most equalling the one at Larissa. 
fugitives were arriving at Volo every 
few minutes and they spread the rumors 
that the Turks would enter the place in 
a few hours. In theabsence of steamers 
there was a general rush for caiques, on 
board of which the well-to-do classes 
went to Euboea or other islands. Your 
correspondent hired a caique and went 
on boanl of it with another newspaper 
companion, Mr. Iloldhnll, In a minute 
there was a great commotion, crowds of 
people shouting to us to come out of the 
boat. Then a number oi jaen made a 
rush on board of her, threw Mr, Hold- 
hall obt and pushed your correspond- 
ent ashore. It seems that the lower 
classes, panic- stricken, determined that 
if they could not escape from Volo 
no one else should do so', and they cried, 
" We must all die together." To such 
an extent did this feeling of panic spread 
that a government steamer, which was 
embarking soldiers for the Pineus, was 
obliged to leave Volo harbor, 
owing to the fact that the fran- 
tic population threatened to make 
a rush on hoard the steamship, 
which would probably have resulted in 
great loss of life. As it was, the wound- 
ed soldiers were taken on board the 
steamer in small boats and the vessel 
sailed for the Piraeus in a hurry, leav- 
ing two English nurses and six wound- 
ed Greek aoldiers on the quay. The 
nurses and wounded men were taken to 
tho British conauhte. Tho excitement 
continued all day, but I Becured a caique 
on the following day and proceeded to 
the island of Euboea, whence, bycaique- 
ing and driving, your correspondent 
reached Athens to-day, having been five 
days without removing shoes or cloth- 
ing. J

soldiers of another division approaching I b e "p^ierence l ''shar 
from the rear saw the companies on the 
hill and thinking they wera Turks, 
commenced firing upon them and

Special dispatches from Rome say that 
news has been received there from 
Athens announcing that the popular 
ferment against King George and 
his government has become graver. 
As a result, tho Italian govern- 
ment has ordered Admiral Cane- 
varo, the Italian commander in Cretan 
waters, to semi the Italian ironclads 
Sardegna and L'mberto and the Italian 
cruiser Nontello to the Piraeus in order 
to protect Italian subjects in event of 
trouble. 

Athens, April 28. — The Greek troops 
in Epirus have been losing ground and 
have been obliged to retire to Lures. 



Ottawa, April 28.— (Special)— Senator 
Power to-day wanted it to be made a 
criminal offence for people divorced in 
the States remarrying again and taking; 
up residence in Canada. 

The British Empire trade league had 
a most successful meeting to-day. Reso- 
lutions urging government to ask 
Chamberlain to call a conference 
to discuss preferential trade ami 
endorsing the fast Atlantic steamahip 
project were unanimously passed. Col. 
Denison, Toronto, was elected president 
and Lieut. -Governor Dewdney, vice- 
president for British Columbia. Messrs. 
Prior, Baatock and C. P. Wolley are 
members of the council. 

Sir McKenzie Bowell points out- that 
if the Imperial government disallowB 
the present tariff it will leave the old 
Conservative tariff in force. The tariff 
tlebate was continued in the commons 
but there were no speeches of interest. 

In the government caucus there ia 
great diversity of opinion over the tariff, 
Sir Richard Cartwrigbt having hard 
work to get the members into line. 

Col. Prior had a num ber of questions 
on the order paper to-day. Mr. Laurier 
told him the government intended to 
cause surveys to be made to discover the 
best route to the Yukon. The govern- 
ment are considering the beat way to 
stop smuggling into that country. Mr. 
Davies informed Col. Prior that a spe- 
cial officer had been detailed to investi- 
gate the American poaching in Hecate 
straits. 

A light is to be placed on Brotehie 
ledge this year, though legislation may 
be necessary before work can be com- 
menced. 

Mr. Davies says the government would 
allow fish traps in Canadian waters in 
the same manner as last year. He has 
declined to allow additional fish traps in 
Boundary bay, 

A number oi British Columbia bills 
were introduced to-day, including one 
to incorporate the Kasloand Lardo Rail- 
way Co., and Landerkin's bill respect- 
ing the British Columbia Southern. 

Tho British Yukon Chartered Com- 
pany is seeking enormous powers by ,i 
bill now before the house. Besides 
authorizing the construction of railways, 
to run steamers and to carry on mining, 
etc., it seeks to do postal and police aer- 
vice for the Dominion government, com- 
pensation therefor to be paid by 
royalty in precious metals mined in 
Yukon territory. The capital of the com- 
pany ia to be a million pounds in ahareB 
of a pound each, of winch 750,000 will 
These prefer- 
ence shares are to rank first for divi- 
dends up to 5 per cent. If the prolits 
do not reach that figure, the 250,000 
ordinary shares receive no dividend. 
The company also seeks power to issue 
bonds to the amount of £10,000 to the 
mile on its railway as previously stated. 
The company wants a guarantee from 
the government on a millon and a quar- 
ter dollars at .'-! per cent. 



IAN 1IACLAREN. 



Presbytery Reject the Charges of Heresy 
Against Him. 



London, April 28. — At the meeting* of 
the I'lesbyterian synod held to-day at 
Sunderland, the business committee de- 
cided to reject the petition containing 
charges of heresy which had been pre- 
ferred against Rev. .John Watson, 
L.L.D., (Ian Maclaren). The only way 
in which the petitioners can now re- 
vive the> matter is by moving an amend- 
ment to the committee and report. But 
such an amendment would have little 
chance of adoption.

The P. C. S. S. Co.'s New. Freight 
Tariff— Anxiety for Two Lum- 
ber Ships. 

No new developments in the ease of 
the R.M.S. Empress of China, quaran- 
tined at William Head, were reported 
yesterday. The Islander has not yet 
gone out to the station to provide ac- 
commodation for the China's saloon pas- 
sengers, and it is probable now that no 
steamer will be chartered for such a 
purpose until it is learned definitely 
how the government will receive the 
numerous telegrams said to have been 
forwarded yesterday petitioning for their 
release. The China's mail was all 
brought into town at 2 :30 o'clock in the 
morning and this was the only commu- 
nication with the station during the day, 
except by wire, until evening, when the 
steamer Maude made another trip out to 
the big liner with additional supplies, 
messages, etc. The C.P.R. company 
has not yet decided whether to send the 
steamer on to Vancouver, hut it Beems 
as if such would lie their course, as Pilot 
Kobertson, of Vancouver, who came 
down to take the ship up to the Ter- 
minal City, is still in town. According 
to the China's saloon passenger list the 
Marquia of Breadalbane, who was 
looked for on the ship, did not arrive. 
Lieutenant Sir E. Arbuthnot, formerly 
of H.M.S. Warspite, who is on his way 
home from the Chinese Btation on pro- 
motion, is aboard, together with a large

II. P. Rithet & Co., local agents of the 
Pacific Coast Steamship Co., bave been 
advised of a rise in freight rates to Alas- 
k i, following on the advance of passen- 
ger fnres. The new rales, announced a 
week ago, take effect on the steamship 
City of Topeka, which sails for the 
North this evening. The schedule has 
been in process of preparation at the 
head office in San Francisco since the 
passenger schedule was given out. On 
general merchandise the rate is raised to 
$9 per ton from $5. L'nder this general 
head come about ten classifications of 
freight. Lumber will be $7.50 per thou- 
sand, an advance from $6.(10. Coal is $/> per 
ton, the same as before. Kggs will be $12 
per ton, instead of $(i.50. Machinery 
under 2, OHO pounds weight is classed a"i 
general merchandise, and forevery 1,000 
pounds over that weight the rate in- 
crpases according to the formerly estab- 
lished ratio. 'Pickets for twelve passen- 
gers bave been sold at the local office. 
Nearly all are miners who have outfitted 
here for the upper Yukon. Among tin 
passengers, however, are C. F. Bill- 
borough and V.. Dewdney, who have 
outfitted here for entirely different ex- 
peditions. They are going to Ounalaska 
to haunt the home of the grizzly and 
cinnamon, and will be away several 
months. 

TWO MORE. 

A Sound paper says: Some anxiety is 
beginning to be felt in marine circles 
over the non-arrival of the schooner 
Lyman D. Foster and the Nicaraguan 
bark Bundaleer, both bound to Free- 
mantle, Australia, and laden with lum- 
ber from Puget Sound. It is feared they 
bave shared the fate of the Samaria. 
The Foster left Hadlock on the IStb of 
December last, under command of Oapt. 
Killmau. (.'apt. Kil Iman was assigned to 
the command of the Foster on her return 
from China without a maBter. During 
the outward voyage of the vessel her 
cabin was the scene of a bloody murder, 
in which Capt. Phil Dryer fell a victim 
to an attack from an insane Chinese 
cook, armed with a bread knife. Later 
on the maniac was caught and bound to 
a stanchion in the galley. In some way 
he managed to reach the match box and 
B't the vessel on fire. The flames were 
discovered at the same moment that the 
terrified crew saw the madman dash to 
the rail and jump into the sea. Capt. 
Kilman was accompanied by his wife. 
I The Bundaleer's skipper was Capt. 0. 
Rice. The vessel eailed from Chemainus 
on the 22nd of Dacember last, and like 
fie Foster has never been reported. 
Something over 120 days has been taken 



up both vessels in making a voyage that 
a9 a general thing occupies only GO or 70 
days. 

to go xoivrn Saturday. 
The Wolcott will go north before her 
former companions in the revenue fleet, 
even though Bhe has now passed from 
government control to that of a private 
corporation, says the P. I. The Wolcott 
haa been repaired and inspected, and 
her present owners, the Pacific Steam 
Whaling Company, will send her north 
next Saturday. The Wolcott will go 
north under command of Capt. Hum- 
phrey. She will he engaged in working 
for the canneries, and it will urobably 
be long before her familiar form again 
adorns Seattle harbor. 

MARINE NOTES. 

An Astoria dispatch says : The report 
that the O. R. £ N. steaniBhip Ohitta- 
gong, plying between Portland and the 
Orient, had been disabled in a typhoon 
in the China sea, appears to have been a 
mistake. She was simply delayed by 
extra freight until April 215. 

This morning the Charmer resumed 
service on her regular Vancouver route, 
relieving the Princess Louise, which will 
now lay up.

POWER FROM THE FALLS. 

Not Sure It' the Big Company Will Go 
Ahead on the Canadian Side. 

Niagara Falls, April 2S. — Win. 1!. 
Rankino, who arrived from New York 
this morning, was asked what the Cana- 
dian Niagara Power Company proposed 
doing in view of the 'decision against the 
extension of their franchise with refer- 
ence to the time within which they must 
begin work and deliver a certain amount 
of power on the Canadian side. He 
positively declined to be interviewed. 
Whether work will be begun by Satur- 
day on the Canadian side is yet a matter 
of surmise. It baa been learned, how- 
ever, that it is the intention of the Ca- 
nadian Niagara Power Company to con- 
test the legality of the franchise of the 
Chippewa Creek Company, the only 
rival the Canadian Power Company 
would have, and this, it is believed, will 
effectually remove competition for two 
years at least in case the Canadian Nia- 
gara Power Company decides to go ahead 
with its work. 



THE CITY MARKETS. 

(New Tariff Does Not Affect Market Quota- 
tions— Getting Hay From California. 

The merchants have become recon- 
ciled to the new tariff and do not appear 
to bo in a complaining mood in any one 
direction this week. Market quotations 
have not been in the least affected by 
the changes in duty, but there is one 
benefit that will be derived from them, 
and that is in the manufacture of corn- 
meal at home instead of abroad. On 
flour this week wholesale prices have 
advanced something like 10 cents, per 
barrel, while the Victoria XXX brand, 
the product of the Victoria Roller Flour 
and Rice Mills, has gone up 25 cents on 
the barrel. -As for the hay market, the 
stringency that has characterized it for 
several weeks past still exists, only to a 
greater extent. The Sound country is 
now having to get ita hay from Califor- 
nia.

" REMOVING " PACIFICOS. 



Diaz Took His Orders Too Literally and 
Wiped Out a Cuban Village. 

New York, April 28. — A Sun special 
from Havana gives details from Sancti 
Spiritus of the total destruction of a 
small village ten miles from there in the 
middle of the month. The village con- 
tained about 150 people who had been 
given permission by the commau'dant at 
Sancti' Spiritus to remain there and 
grow sugar. On Weyler'fl last visit to 
that district ho was informed of this and 
information was given to him that the 
Spanish governor had received money to 
allow them to remain. YVeyler gave 
orders instantly to the guerilla leader 
Diaz to remove them. Diaz took the 
order literally, and with a force of MO 
started for tlie place at once. Arriving 
there at night lie stationed his men 
around the place, completely surround- 
ing it. Fires were started and as the 
poor defenceless people emerged from 
their buildings they were shot down like 
dogs. The Spanish garrison spared 
neither age nor sex, ana when morning 
dawned there were over 100 corpses lying 
in the ruins. Diaz made a report that 
he had lie en attacked by Cubans, ami 
that some of the pacificos had been killed 
during the course of the light. The 
exact facts in the matter were brought 
to Havana by a courier who gives the 
horrible storv in all its details.

mit Lr 



A special correspondent in Brazil of 
the New York Herald has Bent to his 
paper accounts of a growing rebellion 
under one Conselhiero in Brazil. The 
troops of the country have time and 
again met defeat, at the hands of women 
armed with knives who form part of the 
rebellious leader's army. The corre- 
spondent says within a few weeks Brazil 
will be in the throes of a mighty war, un- 
less the government can make terms 
witli this Antonio Conselhiero. 

In describing the events that led up to 
the rebellion the correspondent says : 

"' There appeared in the streets of 
Ganudo, a small city in the Monte Santo 
district, State of Bahia, Brazil, one day 
in November, lh'.Ki, a seemingly well or- 
ganized band of men and women, whose 
leader was a man of herculean propor- 
tions. This man seemed to wield a mag- 
netic power over the people, who 
thronged about him. They marched 
through the streets sinning and shouting 
the old hymns ami wni^a of the time of 
the empire. The leader was listened to 
during his harangues as if he were a 
deity, finally the police weie Bent to 
bill him and his followers to move away 
and to disperse the crowd. This tinier 
the leader refused to obey, and the police 
on endeavoring to use force were routed, 
some being killed. The leader of tins 
band of determined people was Kv.'.'v. i • 
Conselhiero, called ' Fauauro.' 

" This uulooked for slate of affairs, re- 
sulting so seriously, caused much excite- 
ment among the people. '1'elegrains 
were dispatched to the capital, to the 
governor ami thief of public safely. 
.More police weie tent to Canudo, and 
they too were routed, and more were 
killed by a band of women who, armed 
with the faca — a most terrible weapon — 
cut and slashed the police with the; 
greatest fury. After the second affair 
Couselhiero went with his followers into 
a sierra and put himself and his forces 
inside a natural fortress. The fanatic 
was so deliant that it was deemed wise 
to send several hundred troops to the 

scene of action, and the Sixteenth bat- I of the Buffering it will entail if these sug-

Boldiers are suffering, livine solely on

drink of the pure mountain streams for

" Antonio Conselhiero is a man of

square jaws, the overhanging brow and 
the glittering jet black eyes of this man 
will satisfy any rentier of physiognomy 
that ho is of n very determined nature. 
He resembles Bomewhnt the picture of 
General R. E. Lee. He is humane and 
very good to his mixed troops, and they 
obey him like children. Saraiva, the, 
lieutenant, of Conselhiero, is another 
religious fanatic — so Bays the Diario do 
N'oticias and the Journal tie Xoticias,

THE CHILLIWACK ELECTION. 

The friends of the provincial iiovern- 
jrjent have decided to nominate Mr. T. 
C. IIig;;i»8on for the vacancy in the lo- 
cmI legislature created by the death of 
Jlr. Kitchen. Mr. Higginson is very 
highly spoken of and will poll a large 
vote on personal grounds. With the 
excellent record made by the govern- 
ment to assist him, he ought to be able 
to redeem Ohilliwaek. The campaign 
will not be a long one, but there is 
enough time to instruct the electors in 
the trutli regarding provincial issues, 
and we look for a very satisfactory re- 
sult. 

A GREAT WATERWAY, 

The two hundred and thirty miles of 
railway which will connect Bute Inlet 
v.-ith the Fraser River at Quesnelle will 
tap a very fine waterway. The Fraser 
at Quesnelle is a very important river 
and drains a great lake system. It is 
navigable for the most part, so much ao 
that tli ere is good authority for the state- 
ment that an expenditure of $50,UU0 
-would make 000 miles of lakes and 
rivers accessible to steamers from 
Qneanelle. Indeed a short line of rail- 
way, not more than ten miles, from 
•Stewart Lake to Babine Lake, would in- 
crease the water mileage to TOO miles, 
not including the country that 
Tijiy lie reached via the Nechaco 
and Francois Lake. The head of 
r.ibine Lake is about midway 
between Hazelton on tiie Skeena and 
tt: 9 head waters of the Omineca. It is 
well known that all the streams tributary 
to the Fraser carry gold, and the exist- 
ence of old auriferous river channels 
has been demonstrated over and over 
again, while there is good reason to look 
for the discovery of extensive ipuartz 
deposits. The shores of the lakes above 
mentioned aud the valleys of the most 
of the rivers are very well adapted for 
farming. In his report to the provincial 
government, made in IS!)3, ! >. T. Thomp- 
son, P.L.S., speaks of " the most fertile 
belt " drained by the Nechaco, and says 
" the climate is all that could he wished 
for. No extremes. . . . The snow- 
fall id light." He adds that the Indians 
told him that "they never thought of 
feeding their cattle until Christmas, and 
that in March they could as anile be 
1 n rued out again." Mr. Strathern , P.L. 
8., in the same year estimated that 
$10,000 would make the Fraser navigable 
from Soda Creek to the Upper Nechaco. 
A. L. 1'oudrier, P.L.S., in his report 
speaks of this region in the highest 
terms. He compares the climate to that 
of Quebec without the snowfall. He 
tells of finding well ripened wheat grow- 
ing where seeds were dropped from pack 
trainH, and says that a chain of settle- 
ments could be established from the 
Fraser to the Skeena. Here is a sentence 
from his report, taken from page 997 of 
the sessional papers of 189 , which we 
commend to the malignere of Central 
British Colombia: "For stock raising 
the valleys of the Knkado and the 
Bulkley offer more advantages than the 
Nechaco proper; but this lust, with its 
level plains, rich white silts where a 
stone cannot be found, offers certainly 
the greatest advantage to farmers, and 
it is now well known that the largest ex- 
tent of farming land in British Columbia 
is to he found there." This splendid 
auction can be reached readily from the 
Coast after the railway from Bute Inlet 
lias been constructed and a compara- 
tively trivial expenditure is made upon 
the Fraser. 



THOSE CONCESSIONS 

TO BRITAIN. 

A delicate question may arise aato the 
right of Germany, France, Belgium and 
some other countries to any abatement 
in duties which Canada may make in 
favor of Great Britain. Sir Charles 
Tapper and Mr. Foster are alleged to 
have expressed an opinion favorable to 
such a right, but it is well to wait for a 
fuller report of their remarks than the 
press dispatches give before setting them 
down as committed to such a position, 
for the proposition is whollya novel one. 
If this rightdoes exist the discriminating 
feature of the tariff is worse than useless, 
for under the color of increasing our trade 
with the Mother Country Canada will 
take a long stop in the direction of free 
trade. While this would be quite in 
harmony with the platform of the 
Liberal party, it is not what the public 
has been led to expect or what we have 
been told the ministry intended. 

The real question involved is wider 
than Canadian politics, for it goes to the 
very root ot the relations between the 
ditferent parts of the Kmpire. The con- 
tention of the foreign consuls, as wo 
understand it, is that so far as the tariff 
is concerned Great Britain and Canada 
are foreign countries, wholly indepen- 
dent of each other. This, indeed, seems 
to be the position taken by Sir Richard 
Cartwright. But while they are inde- 
pendent of each other in this respect it 
is claimed that " the most favored 
nation " clause in British treaties binds 
Canada not only so far as foreign coun- 
tries are concerned, but in respect, to bet- 
trade with Great Britain. That ifa to 
say, the component parts of the British 
Kmpire cannot foster trade between 
themselves to the exclusion, in any 
degree, of other countries, for they are 
bound as well within the Empire i 
without by the " most favored nation 
clause in British treaties. 

The point is a nice one, and there is 
no precedent for it that we ate aware of 
On one phase of the question it is inter- 
esting to note that the Marquis of Lome 



ment of animals from the rail to steam- 
ers. This is a matter which, in the mul- 
tiplicity of projects engaging the atten- 
tion of British Columbia business men, 
ought not to he lost sight of. 

An attempt has been made tp make 
capital against the government beeauso 
of the terms on which the E. & N. Kail- 
way Company is willing to sell surface 
rights on the railway belt to miners. It 
is a matter with which the government 
has absolutely nothing whatever to do. 
The lands of the E. & N. Company 
passed out of the control of the govern 
ment some time ago. They were 
handed ovor to the Dominion gov 
ernment, which made the bar- 
gain with the E. & N. Company, 
and the Provincial government had 
nothing to say in the matter. It is true 
that Hon. Mr. Turner interested him 
self to obtain as favorable terms as pos 
sible for miners, and the company have 
agreed to sell the surface rights with the 
timber to all miners for $3 an acre, with 
a royalty of L'O cents a ton on all ore 
raised. This is purely a voluntary agree- 
ment on the part of the company, and 
the miners regard it as liberal. It was 
mentioned in the house by Mr. Turner 
for the sake of giving it as great public 
ity as possible, but not because officially 
he had anything to do with the matter. 
As a matter of fact, while the company 
will deal with any one on this basis, it 
has in some eases given the surface 
rights outright to applicants. The 
land is private property, and the 
owners may do just what they like with 
it. They have no disposition to exact 
harsh tenns from miners, and have not 
done so. 



The Nelson Miner wants the provin- 
cial government so to conduct matters 
that " the opposition members of '.he 
legislature will not have to he ever 
searching for some trickery." This ts 
really very good. How excellently the 
Miner sizes up the opposition. They 
are ever searching for some trickery." 
Year after year passes and the search 
goes on. Lord Lovell, who sought for 
his lost bride bv night and day until his 



hair grew white and his shrunken form 
asked the advice of the Colonial Otliceas j was buried in the churchyard, was not 
to whether or not he Bhould assent to more persistent than are the members of 



the National Policy tariff, and was di- 
rected to follow the advice of his minis- 



the opposition, and his quest was no 
more fruitless. They have searched all 



ters. This was, bo far us it went, a re- the way from government house down 
cognition of Canadian independence of ^ [ or "trickery,'' but they have found 
the Mother Country in respect to the none— not even the shadow of a shade of 
tariff, from which it would seem to be a ^host of a trick. We can assure the 
deducible that the Canadian parliament ' M 

iner that if the government were coin- 
is at liberty to grant such concessions as ' posed of white-robed angels just down 
it pleases in trade matters. Everything from Celestial realms it could not con- 
would be plain sailing if the treaty obli- ■ duet matters so that " the opposition 
gations of Great Britain did not come members of the legislature will not have

THE CANADIAN PHESS. 

WNBBAL ACT AMENDMENT. 

The Smith amendment to the Mineral 
Act is, in the main, well considered, and 
its adoption by the legislative assembly 
will meet with the approval of the gen- 
eral public, and particularly those inter- 
ested in the mining industry of this prov- 
ince.— Nelson Miner. 

THE FACTIOUS OPPOSITION. 

All, we think, will regret to observe 
that the opposition in the provincial leg- 
islature endeavored to baulk the efforts 
of the government in its desire to afford 
railway facilities to a section of the coun- 
try which has tor yearB been pressing 
its claim in this respect.— Vancouver 
World. 

mjiTisn Columbia's cask. 
A statement presented by Senator Me 
Innes during the debate on the address 
in reply to the speech from the throne, 
constitutes strong evidence in support of 
the demand from British Columbia for 
more liberal treatment by the Dominion 
government in the way of expenditures 
in aid of the development of this prov 
ince. — News- Advertiser. 

Till: GOVERNMENT DID RIGHT, 

The government has taken the proper 
stand in the matter of the Nelson & Fort 
Sheppard railway's land grant. The land 
subsidy was honestly earned by the con- 
struction of the road before the miners, 
who are kicking about having to pay for 
the timber, came to Kootenay. If they 
bad staked their mineral claims before 
the railway was built, they would own 
surface, timber and all. — Nelson Miner.

treaty with Great Britain, with a "most 
favored nation " clause in it, could claim 
similar concessions'.' If this is admitted, 
does it follow that if Canada makes a 
concession to Great Britain or Australia 
any such foreign countries would have a 
right to participate in the concession'.' 



kicks up and the more noise he makes, 

The Spokesman-Review is right in its 
objections to the government of Yukon 
by a chartered company, but is,wrong in 
thinking that the application of the 
Duke of Teck's company is to the Im- 



It will readily be seen that such a qties- perial parliament. The Canadian par- 
tion pusses out of the domain of Carta- liament is the body that has been asked 
dian politics and becomes a matter of . to grant concessions in Yukon. Our 
imperial concern. It i 
the effect of the contemplated conces- 
sions upon Canadian trade. We think 
there will hardly be two opinions as to 
the expediency of permitting foreign 
nations to have any veto power over the 
trade relations between the ditl'erent 
parts of ttie Empire. If it shall appear 
that the alleeed_ concessions to 
Britain must extend to the nations of 
Continental Europe as well, there is no 
point in making them, but on the con- 
trary they would injure Canadian indus- 
tries and needlessly provoke hostility on 
the part of our Southern neighbors. 



juite apart from 1 contemporary ought to remember that 
the Imperial parliament does not legis- 
late on the internal affairs of Canada. 

Tmk Times talks about the Premier's 
"reiterated winnings" over Mr. Sword's 
amendment to the railway bill. The 
only reference Mr. Turner made to the 
Ireat | amendment was to tell Mr. Sword on 
Tuesday that he should think he had 
done enough mischief in hampering the 
construction of the Penticton-Boundary 
railway and ought not to throw ob- 
stacles in the way of the line from the 
Coast to Cariboo. 



THE MEAT SUPl'L V. 

It appears that hitherto it has been 
found impossible in British Columbia to 
put up corned beef and compete with 
the Chicago product. That ;s to say, 
cattle are grown on the ranges of .Mon- 
tana and elsewhere, are taken to Chicago, 
slaughtered there, the moat is packed in 
barrels and is .shipped out to this coast, 
where, alter paying a duty of three cents 
a pound,- it is sold at such a price as sub- 
stantially to control this market. Yet 
it is a fact that we have belter cattle 
ranges in British Columbia than they 
have in Montana and the haul to a suit- 
able point for an extensive abattior is 
very much less than the average haul on 
beef to Chicago. 1 1 ought also to be pos- 
sible toobtain barrels and saltaB cheaply 
here as in Chicago. As a matter of fact 
beef-packing is a profitable business in 
San Francisco, so there is really 
no need of any argument to 
show that no conditions exist on 
the coast, which necessarily give Chicago 
an'advantage. Of course the enormous 
scale on which the business is carried on 
in that city i educes the coat per barrel, 
but it is very improbable that this ad- 
vantage is equal to the duty. With the 
rapid development of our gold mines and 
those of the Yukon there will grow up a 
great market in British Columbia for 
packed meats, hams and bacon, und if it 
is feasible to supply this from domestic 
sources it will mean very much to the 
Province. It has been, suggested that it 
would pay as a business proposition to 
erect a large abattoir at Vancouver or 
New Westminster for the purpose of 
handling the meat trade. Such an es- 
tablishment ought to be on the Main- 
This great river will play land in order to avoid the trans -ship- 



What i§ " the bad provincial mea- 
sure " which the Times blames th" 
Colokist for supporting'.' It ought to 
be a little more explicit. Presumably it 
is the railway subsidy bill. Will our 
contemporary on plain what there is 
about that bill which it considers 
" bad '".' Is it the road from the Coast 
to Kootenay, or that from the Coast to 
Cariboo? 



ill n Lastern exchanges discussing the 
Nova Scotia elections generally say that. 
" the result occasioned no surprise." If 
this is true, then we have only to say 
that the papers on both sides of politics 
contrived to conceal their feelings most 
ellectivelv before the election. 



Coast- Kootenay. 
Coast-Cariboo. 
Coast-Cassiar. 
This is the British 
policy.

a bicycle going the same direction and 
ran into his lady companion, throwing 
her completely across the track. By ex- 
treme good luck tit- lady was unhurt, 
but the wheel was badly wrecked. The 
buggy was a hired rig, and the individu- 
al who was driving had not the manli- 
ness to pull up to lind out what damage 
he had done. The police are trying hi 
identify the culprit, who thoroughly de- 
serves to he punished.

Mr. Cotton moved, and Mr. b^mlin 
seconded the following: " Whereas .' er

a treaty with the Umpire of Japan I 
whereby, among other articles, it is pro- 
vided that any of Her Majesty's colonies | 
may become parties to the said treaty on • 
applying to do so within a specified' pe- 
riod ; and whereas this province from 
its geographical position "is more imme- 
diately brought face to face with the 
question of Asiatic immigration than 
Other provinces of the Dominion; and 
whereas the legislature have repeatedly 
expressed their opinion that such immi- 
gration should lju restricted: Resolved, 



amendment, and the report was adopted. 

On the third reading of the Nelson & 
Fort Sheppard bill being called, Mr. 
Cotton moved as a now section : 
" Nothing in this act contained shall be

cide to become partiGS to the aforesaid 
treaty, they will make such stipulations 
as will prevent the unrestricted immi- 
gration of Japanese into Canada." 

Mr. Cotton said that before next 
session the question would have to be 
settled whether Canada would come 
within the scope of the Anglo-Japanese 
treaty. There were, he believed, a good 
many persons in Canada who believed 
that it would be of advantage to Canada 
to come under the treaty, because then 
Canadian merchants would lie able to 
engage in business anywhere in Japan, 
and Canadians .would be able to move 
about the country as freely as the

The debentures bore. Interest a' ""^ ra[0

only responsible for -1 per cent. It was 
well known that the amount of money 
raised under these various debentures 
had not. proved Bufiicient to carry 
out the works. From reports of expert 
engineers who had examined these 
dykes very carefully it hail been found 
I hat they required approximately if 100,- 
000 for certain improvements to the 
dykes, ami in some cases for raising 
them to a higher level. Some (if the

to be given for 
Japanese enterprise and labor to come 
liere. The majority of the members of 
this house felt that to do that would be 
prejudicial to British Columbia. 
Japanese competition had already been 
severely felt in some brunches of in- 
dustry in this province, and if Canada 
entered into (bis treaty he felt that the 
interests of British Columbia would 
suffer, He had, however, reason to 
believe that the Japanese government 
recognized the objection of many of the 
people of Canada to the unrestricted im- 
migration of the lower class of Japs — of 
course there was no objection to Japan- 
ese merchants coming in — and that gov- 
ernment, it was thought, would be will- 
ing to allow of some restrictiotis being 
put in the treaty regarding this immi- 
gration. Therefore he thought the Pro- 
vincial government BhotlbJ communicate 
with the Dominion government and 
point out that if it was intended to bring 
Canada within the scope of the treaty 
these restrictions on common Japanese 
labor should he introduced. 

Hon. Premier Turner said at once that 
he fully agreed with this resolution. It 
was very carefully worded, and was of 
such a nature that it might prove to be 
of advantage to the province. The reso- 
lution proposed that the Dominion gov- 
ernment should make such stipulations 
as would prevent the unrestricted im- 
migration of Japanese into this country. 
Of course, as had been pointed out by 
the lion, gentleman (Mr. Cotton), it was 
not proposed to restrict the immigration 
of all Japanese into this province. 
There were merchants and men of busi- 
ness in Japan who lie imagined would 
be provided for in any restrictions that 
might be imposed. He felt that there 

was likely to be greater difficulty arising | . u;rea Bt f ;, r , u | tlv , u ioM , anl ] there w 

trom a flood of the lower Japanese into!-. i.i„ , ;„.. „„,.i... 

this country than from a flood of Chi- 
nese. Of course in some respects t In- 
Japanese were much more go-ahead 
than the Chinese, but they were not to 
be so depended upon. He must not be 
taken as defending Chinese immigration 
in saying that. He simply desired to 
point out that if there was a Hood of 
cheap Japanese labor British Columbia 
would be in a worse position than if the 
province was flooded with Chinese. The 
resolution was so carefully worded tha? 
he thought it could do no harm and it 
might prove to be of much good, as it 
would strengthen the hands of the Do- 
minion in effecting such regulations 
restricting immigration of the char- 
acter complained of as would prove 
useful to the province. He miiriit 
also say that he had reason to believe, 
from communications he had had with 
Japanese merchants and officials, that 
they themselves appreciated the situa- 
tion. They felt that emigration from 
their country to Canada could be regu- 
lated by themselves, so that if this was 
done and regulations were made the 
province would not have to face the diffi- 
culty of being flooded with the lower 
elements of Japanese labor. He gladly 
and willingly supported the resolution. 

The resolution was carried unani- 
mously. 

Mr. Selmin moved, seconded by Mr. 
Williams, that an order of the house be 
granted for the production of 

fa). A copy of all provincial tenders 
for furnishing hardware for parliament 
buildings, said hardware to be pro- 
cured by the tenderer from the Yale- 
Towne Manufacturing Co. 

(b.) The name of the successful tend- 
erer. 

This was agreed to without debate. 
Mr. Hume moved thai the Hon. Min- 
ister of Mines, in granting a record of 
1,200 inches of water on Beaver Creek to 
A. F. Heinze, acted without any legisla- 
tive authority, and such grant should 
not have been made until the " Water 
Clauses Consolidation Act " bad become 
law, and then only in accordance with 
the provisions of that act. Ho moved 
the adjournment of the debate until the 
retnrn dealing with this matter was 
printed and in the hands of hon. mem- 
bers, The adjournment was agreed to. 

The Itevelstoke Waterworks bill (Mr. 
Kellie), and the Grand Forks Power and 
Light Uompany'a bill (Mr. He'mcken) 
were read a third time aud passed. 

The Greenwood City Water Company's 
bill, and the Cumberland and Union 
Water bill were read a second time mid 
passed through committee and reported 
complete. 

The Kootenay Electric Company's bill 
was read a secotid time and partially con- 
sidered in committee. 

The Fairview Power, Water and tele- 
phone Company's bill (Mr. Graham) was 

- . 1 il™ /inn cji A urn/ 1 ill 



high enough to keep out the water. It 
i was said that some required to he raised 
about '1 feet. When they were made as 
high as that they would perfectly keep 
, out the water and put the hind inside 
| them in a position suitable for crops. 
I The land behind these dykes was as rich 
I as any land in the world, and was moBt 
; admirably adapted for cultivation, and 
i especially to supply the wants of the 
! neighboring cities. If, therefore, this 
land could be saved by the means of 
proper dyking, the settlers on them 
would be in an admirable position 
to make more than a good living. 
Under present circumstances, however, 
the farms had become virtually worse 
than useless because of the uncertainty 
of Hoods. Under present conditions the 
province was in the position that it was 
bound to pay out somewhere about 
$13,000 a year for a large number of years 
and it virtually had nothing for it. By 
the plan proposed under this bill the 
government guaranteed not the interest 
only but the interest and principle of 
these debentures. That was to say, they 
would issue new debentures, taking up 
tho old ones with the new ones, and in 
addition to that they would want to com- 
plete the dykes something like $100,000. 
It gave power here for $150,000. That 
amount would not be required unless 
contingencies quite unforseen arise; 
$100,000 to $120,000 would probably be 
sufficient fur the purpose, The plan sug- 
gested would cost the province some- 
thing like $3,000 a year more than 
was now paid. The difference would be 
that the province would get something in 
return under the new conditions, where- 
as under the old they got nothing. Un- 
[tier this plan they would have 38,000 

uld 

he no trouble in getting more settlers on 
I that land. The $3,000 mure that the 
i province would have to pay would, be- 
| sides opening up the land, be the means 
I of paying back both interest and princi- 
1 pal. Under this bill the net cost will be 
] approximately $ 150. 000. Taking the in- 
terest at &}■■> per cent, would be $15,750 
I a year. They now paid over $ Hi, 000. 
i The total land reclaimed would he US, 500 
J acres, so that will average less than $12 
per acre. An assessment of 5 per cent, 
ion that average land value of $12 would 
give $2.'!, 100 a year, and the average rate 
per acre would be about liO cents. That 
j left a considerable margin, lie thought 
00 eenta an acre very low. In some cases 
now they paid $2 per acre. The total 
cost, including the original cost of the de- 
bentures, would bu about $-150,000, Some 
lion, members might think it strange 
that n measure - i important as this was 
not considered earlier in Ilie seepioii.

rend ;i second' time and considered in 
committee, Mr. Macgregor in the chair. 
The bill was reported complete without 



ti it poail ion to place 
nnifc. lie tljoujtlil 
no elieet, its j n 1 1 pose 
the house. 
Mr. KidiJ thoiiL'iit the bill was in the 
riulit direction und pave the government 
credit for introducing it. Utilesa the 
government stepped in an contemplated 
the money already expended would 
have been lost, He regretted that the 
government hud not done the Batne 
thing in regard to municipality dyking 
works. The works in Delta had been 
successful, but in Surrey they had not 
been s uccessful , und the government in 
introducing a bill of this kind fIkiiiIiI 
have seen if any t binj{ could be done for 
Surrey, lie supported the second read- 
ing of tho bill. 

Mr. t lotion would also support the 
bill, but be reminded the government 
that it was along the lines, suggested by 
tiimeell in IK'.ii. The measure which 
the government had introduced at that 
time tins proved to be a failure. This 
1*111 , however, was in the right direction, 
and bo would give it h ia cord ial support. 

lion. Mr. Turner said tlio amount 
provided by thin bill would pay every- 
tliiiie: in connection with the dyke?. 
, Mr. Sword fully endorsed Mr. Kidd's 
remarks. The case of Surrey was u very 
kardoneand should have received the 
consideration of the government. The 
case of Dewdney wiib still harder. Those 
schemes of great extent should not he 
allowed to he undertaken by municipali- 
ties, The municipality of Dewdney was 
practically bankrupt because of itn dyk- 
ing scheme, and lie hoped that the gov- 
ernment would take the matter into its 
consideration, 
Mr. Smith feared the tcheine would 



lead the government into deep water. 
The government thould make up their 
minds to abandon dyking schemes or go 
into a scheme that would benefit all 
portions of the province. The (tinners 
of the upper country suffered as imieli 
from want of water ns the farmers on 
Lower Kraser sull'ered from too much 
water. It was then as consistent for the 
government to undertake irrigation 
schemes as it was to undertake dyking 
schemes. 

Mr. H P. Kit bet was euro this bill 
would meet, with approval, but he wisher! 
to be satisfied that this sum of $150,000 
would be sutticient to accomplish the 
object which the government had in 
view in bringing the matter before the 
house. The object of the measure was a 
very admirable one. He thought that 
the hon. member who had just spoken 
(Mr. Smith) instead of bringing the irri- 
gation question in theinterior before the 
house us a side issue should formulate 
some plan and lay it before the govern- 
ment for consideration . 

Mr. Adams agreed with Mr. Smith as 
to the importance <>| tl e irrigation ijnes- 
tion. He cordially supported the bill. 

Mr. Mouth emphasized the p >int (if 
the hon. member for Victoria (Mr. 11. P. 
liithel as to seeing thai if 150,000 would 
cover the objects of the bill. 

Hon. Mr, .Martin said the hon. nieni- 
hers for l.illooet and Carilioo (Messrs. 
Smith and Adams) had asked why tint 
government had nol introduced a bill to 
help irrigate the arid regions of the in- 
terior. The reason wan that they had 
never been asked to do so. If the hon. 
members would formulate a scheme and 
would bring it before the gov- 
ernment, he could assure them 
t at the government would give 
it tin ir most sympathetic consideration. 
The government was just as anxious us 
any hon. member to Help forward anv 
scheme of this sort, lie had much 
pleasure in supporting the bill, 
Major Mutter supported the bill. 
The second reading wits passed unani- 
mously. 

The house went into committee on the 
Cassiar Central Railway Company aid 
bill. Mr. Booth in ihe chair. 

Mr. Higgins, on the floor of the house, 
announced that he was going to exercise 
his right and discuss the bill. 

On the motion that sub-section (a) of 
clause 1 he adopted, 

Mr. Higgins said it would be tbe 
means of creating a most extraordinary 
monopoly and. free miners would become 
bondslaves. The charter was worse than 
the charter of the South African country. 

Hon. Premier Turner said the hon. 
member (Mr. Higgins) could not have 
seen the South African charter, That 
gave the company control over the whole 
country while here the Cassiar Company 
^ was given 750,000 acres out of 1 10,000,- 
j HOD. That left one hundred and thirty 
million for free miners and they would, 
moreover, have the advantage of getting 
into the country by this railway. There 
was no comparison between this eoni- 
panv and the South African Company. 

After some further discussion, the 
committee rose and reported progress in

WHAT PEOPLE SAY. 



The Women's Franchise Champion 
Aims Another Hearty Blow 
at Her Opponent. 



Those Lonely Graves— A Problem on 
the "Powerful's" Speed and 
Coal Capacity. 



To TJIK Editob : — I regret that J. S. H. 
has in to-day 'a paper misinterpreted my 
letter defending the justice of giving to 
women the franchise, "That men rule 
the world" we do not dispute, and I 
■wish clearly to state that women do not 
desire political rights that they may 
change places with men. They claim 
that the hest results will come to man as 
to woman from the co-operation of both. 
J.'S. H. does not credit Queen Victoria 
with any of the progress that has been 
made during her reign, hut gives it all 
to the advisers of the crown. Who, may 
I ask, changed the mural tone o£ the 
court in England, encouraged and fos- 
tered religion, and banished from her 
presence the dissolute and debauchee? 
Was it not Queen Victoria, although 
only a young woman? And are not 
virtue, temperance and religion the 
foundation stones of all national pros- 
perity. Together our Queen and her ad- 
visers have labored side by side, and 
success has followed their united efforts. 
The work of state and home have not 
conflicted, but combining have developed 
and ennobled the life and character of 
our gracious Queen, and just as these are 
happily combined will every true woman 
of our land develop into a noble char- 
acter. The women of to-day ask 
the ballot, not that they may 
uso it against men, but with 
and lor all good men in making this 
world a better and a safer place, not that 
they may disrupt the home and forsake J 
or neglect the children, but that they i 
may the better protect both home ami 
children, and because they believe that | 
the greater development of mind and 
heart will make them more (it for the 
responsibilities of motherhood, The 
world is progressing in every way— in 
science, in arts, and governments are 
pushing rapidly onward. The time was 
when comparatively few men enjoyed 
the franchise either in Great Britain or 
Canada, and even now throughout this 
Dominion British Columbia is the only 
province enjoying universal manhood 
suffrage. Why should not woman keep 
7>ace with her brother, or should she be 
the only non-progressive one V Why 
should not LSritish Columbia take the 
lead with regard to woman's suffrage as 
it lias in manhood suffrage ? 

Permit me. for the enlightenment of J. 
S. II., to say that there is no necessity to 
telegraph to Her Majesty's Secretary of 
iSta* nor to the women of England, for 
they have long since felt the need of be- 
ing relieved of this disability, and only 
a lew months ago 257,000 women sent a 
petition to parliament askintr for the ex- 
tension of the franchise. Mr. Faithfull 
Begg introduced a bill very similar to 
the one brought before the legislative as- 
sembly by Mr. Helmcken, and this bill 
has already passed its second reading in 
the House of Commons by a majority of 
71. A similar bill will be brought before 
the Dominion house during this present 
session. When confederation with the 
Dominion was being considered in this 
province L't> years ago some of our lead- 
ing men and cleverest politicians op- 
posed it and prophesied dire results as 
the outcome of it; yet despite all 
prophesy to the contrary confederation 
has been a Biiccess, and none would step 
back 20 years and be again a crown 
colony. When women's enfranchisement 
lias been fairlv tested in this province, 
no one will wish to recover it from them. 
Thestateof Wyoming has tested woman's 
enfranchisement for twenty-six years, 
and with what • result? When a short 
time ago Wyoming appiied for the privi- 
lege of becoming a state, Uncle Sain told 
the people uf that territory that they 
would gladly welcome them, but their 
women, of course, could not longer exer- 
cise the francise, as he and his advisers 
did not believe in it. The men of this 
territory replied : " We would rather for- 
feit being a state, with all its advan- 
tages, than sutler the disadvantage and 
dishonor of our women not being re- 
ceived on the same terms as we are. 
Our women have Btood -by us in all our 
hardships, all our difficulties, and if now 
we are to reap any advantages it shall 
not, he on such terms; rather, far rather, 
will we remain a territory." Hut Wy- 
oming was made a state and the women 
voted. Harper's Magazine says : "Wy- 
oming today has no poor house; its 
jails are almost empty, and crime, ex- 
cept when committed by strangers, is 
almost unknown." M. G. 

To the Editor— In your issue of 
Tuesday there is an interesting account 
of H. M. ii. Powerful. 

Will von kindly explain how she can 
steam 25.000 miles with 3,000 tons of 
coal, when she used o72 tons in 21 hours, 
vide your article : 

"Her bunkers will hold 1,500 tons of 
coal and another 1 ,500 tons can be stored, 
and with this total the Powerful can 
steam 25,000 miles or round the world. 

In her 30 hours trial the 

Powerful did an average of 20.8 knots 
per hour and used 372 tuns of coal in 'it

To the Editor:— The story of the 
graves Bouth of Dallas road is well 
known to the pioneers of Victoria. 
About twenty-seven years ago the 
steamer Prince Alfred arrived with 
smallpox on board. The veBael was 
quarantined in Royal Roada and passen- 
gers landed at Macauley's point. A 
child suffering from the disease was re- 
moved from the steamer to a frame 
building near Dallas road, where she 
died. The mother also died, and the 
bodies were buried beneath the fence 
which stands on the south side of Dallas 
road, between Menssies and Carr streets. 
A mvsterious murder occurred in the 
»69t-house later, and the building was 
burned to the ground by an incendiary.

FLOOD BOUND FAMILIES. 

Relief Given to the Sufferers By the Red 
River Rise. 

Winnipeg, April 28. —(Special) — The 
relief Bteauier Assiniboine returned this 
morning from up the river points. Yes- 
terday above Morris there were several 
applications for supplies from people 
living in the Hooded districts. Many 
stories of hardship were told. One man 
and his family had lived for two days in 
their one story house with two feet of 
water on the floor. They had not been 
able to escape owing to the high winds. 
In a bouse in which three to live families 
were living together sickness had 
broken out among the children, and on 
account of there being so many mouths 
to feed provisions bad run short. It was 
to people in su'-li circumstances that 
most of the supplies were given. The 
water is stationary here to-day. 



THE BY-ELECTIONS. 

Later Returns From Winnipeg and Mac- 
donald. 

WlNxrr-Eci, April 28 — (Special) — The 
correct majority for Jameson, the Lib- 
eral member for Winnipeg, is 1,117, 
and the total vote was 3,535. 

The majority for Dr. Rutherford, Lib- 
eral, in Macdonald, is 107, with one or 
two small polls to hear from. 

EARLY IMMIGRANTS. 

This Year's Supply From Britain of a Very 
Gootl Class. 

A large number of immigrants, proba- 
bly three hundred, arrived to-day from 
Halifax, via the Grand Trunk and CP. R. 
They were mostly English and of an ex- 
cellent class. The efforts of Sir Donald 
Smith to enlighten the public on the 
other side as to the class of immigrants 
desired in Canada, are bearing fruit. In- 
stead of stunted, pale-faced creatures, 
the product of the streets of large cities, 
who never saw a tree or a cow in their 
lives, of whom we have had fur too many 
samples in the past, most of the immi- 
grants this season, so far, are splendid 
specimens of the farm laborer class. 
There is also noticeable a considerable 
sprinkling of the better class of farmers, 
men with means to invest: but chiefly, 
there is knowledge of the conditions 
which await them, and fitness for meet- 
ing them. The, C l'. It. has always been 
laboring in this direction, and il is to the 
credit of the societies in England th»t 
they have latterly made the most rig.d 
investigation into the capabilities and 
character of the intending emigrants be- 
fore they have sanctioned their coming 
out. The magic lantern exhibitions 
which were got up by Sir Donald, show- 
ing the Dominion as an agricultural 
country, which needed chiefly brawn and 
muBele and the knowledge of crops and 
cattle, broegnl home to the people in a 
vivid and effectual way the situation

everything encouraging in tins, partieu

I; is noticeable, in 'be bodies of immi- 
grants thus far lauded and distributed 
this season, that a considerable propor- 
tion were destined for liritish Columbia. 
Such persons are to be distinguished from 
the laboring class. They are persons 
with small means, who, having heard of 
the wonderful wealth of this compara- 
tively new province, have pulled up 
stakes in the hope "f making sudden 
fortune. Whether such, disappointed, 
for the most part, as must be the inevit- 
able experience, will settle down to sober 
pursuits of which the rewards w ill be 
slow but probably sure in the end. re- 
mains to be seen. At any rate, the lirit- 
ish, though t bey have been slow to waken 
up, are evidently not going to let the 
Americans get all the precious metal out 
of the mines which are springing up, 
mushroom like, in all directions.

OFF TO THE WAR. 

Montreal Greeks Going Home to Fight the 
Hated Turks. 

The war spirit has invaded Montreal 
anil juiit at present any number of 
Greek residents of this city are prepar- 
ing to leave the country of their adop- 
tion for that of their birth. The over- 
age Greek is nothing if not patriotic, 
ami it is hardly to be wondered 
at that a larue number of those 
who reside in Montreal are just pining 
away for an opportunity to wallup the 

unspeakable Turk." The number of 
Greeks residing in this city is even 
larger than ono might at first glance 
imagine to be the ease. There is scarce- 
ly a Btreet throughout the city that 
does not contain one ur more Greek mer- 
chants, and very good citizens as a rule 
they aie. As a general tiling the mer- 
chandizing which the Grecian indulge in 
takes the form of small candy anil fruit 
stores. Why the descendants of the 
great Athenians should run to candy 
merchants is hard to ~,;y but such, how- ! 
ever, is the fact. But, nevertheless, ! 
something of the spirit which inspired j 
their ancestors still obtains, as they Ul'e ; 
willing to give up the weighing of sweet- 
meats for the weightier questions ot 
country and strife. Among the best 
known of the Greek residents who have 
resolved to tender service to the conn- j 
try of bis birth is M. Nicholson. 
He has been a resident of Mont- ' 
real for several years, ami in that j 
time matters have prospered with him, 
and to-day he is the owner of three 
candy and fruit stores. These he is go- j 
ing to sell at the first opportunity and 
join the Grecian army at home. Mr. 
Nicholson baa probably accumulated 
some eight or ten thousand dollars since 
his arrival, and this, along witli his ser- 
vices, he will give his fatherland. Mr. 
Nicholson, together with the many who 
have already avowed their intention of 1 
taking up orniB for their country, ex- , 
poets to eail for Athena on an early ! 
steamer, thus again proving, where no 
proof is needed, that "their skins, not 
their affections, they change who cross 
the seas." — Montreal Star.

remunerative. In fact, if the reports of 
one of its officers are to be believed, the 
losses have been so great as to warrant 
the instant dissolution of the corpora-

eminent has been exorbitant in its

zens have insisted that more prizes he

had its home in New Orleans. 
Thus, between fighting the government 
in various and divers ways, as it had to 
do, and at the end of each year lind it-

order to allow amendments to bo intro- 
duced by the government to be printed 
for the convenience of members. 

On the motion to go into committee on 
the Mineral Act Amendment Bill, Mr. 
Braden moved that section 8 be struck 
out and the following section adopted in 
lien thereof : 

" 8. Every person over eighteen veara 
of age, and being a British subject, or 
being an alien, upon bis making a de- 
claration of hia intention to become a 
British subject before any pe: -on au- 
thorized to take affidavits or affirma- 
tions under the Oaths Act, 18'dJ, or be- 
fore the gold commissioner or 
mining recorder, which declaration 
shall be in the form U in the 
schedule of this act, and upon hie filing 
the same with the mining recorder, and 
every joint stock company, shall be en- 
titled to all the rights and privileges of a 
free miner, and shall be considered a 
free miner, upon taking out a free 
miner's certificate. A minor who shall 
become a free miner shall, as regards his 
milling property and liabilities con- 
tracted in connection therewith, be 
treated as of full age. A free miner's 
certificate issued to a joint stock com- 
pany shall be issued in its corporate 
name. A free miner'c certificate shall 
not be transferable." 

Mr, Smith said such a clause would 
very much hamper the mining industry. 

Hon. Col. Baker opposed the proposed 
section as being directed against Ameri- 
cans, wdio had done so much to open up 
and develop the mines. 

Hon. Mr. Martin agreed with the re- 
marks of the Provincial Secretary. 
American citizens had shown great en- 
terprise in prospecting and taking up 
claims. If the United States had adopted 
an alien labor law it would he a very 
small policy on our part to follow their 
example. 

After some further debate, 
Mr. Semlin bhw in the amendment no 
hostility to anyone, but only a desire to 
make those who came hero British sub- 
jects. Ii such an amendment was to he 
introduced at some time or other the 
sooner the better. The amendment was 
a move in the right direction, and he 
was in sympathy with the mover's ob- 
ject, lie would support the amend- 
ment. 

The amendment was carried by 19 
votes to 10 on t he following div.sion : 

Ayes — Turner, Lherts, Kennedy, Mae- 
pherson, Kidd, Hud', Williams, Semlin, 
Graham, Kellie, Mutter, Helmcken, 
Stoddart, Walkem, Brydeu, Rogers, Ir- 
ving, Braden, McGregor — 19. 

Nave — Hume, Sword, Cotton, Baker, 
Martin, Rithet, Adams, Booth, Smith, 
Pooley— 10 

The house went into committee on the 
Mineral Act amendment bill, Mr. Hull' 
in the chair. Progress was reported. 

The house rose at ten minutes to 
1 1 p. in. 

NOTICES OF MOTION. 

By Mr. Helmcken : — Whereas on the 
30th June, 189(5, the Commander in 
Chief of the British squadron on the 
Pacific Btation approached the govern- 
ment of tho province of British Colum- 
bia on the subject of a residence for the 
Admiral who commands the Pacific: 

And whereas the vicinity of Eaquimalt 
harbor presents a suitable site and it is 
in the interest of the province that a 
site for such residence should be ob- 
tained : 

Be it therefore resolved that the said 
communication should receive the re- 
spectful consideration a' the government 
of the province of British Columbia. 

By Mr. Helmcken — That an humble 
address be presented to His Honor the 
Lieut. -Governor requesting him to cause 
to be laid before this bouse, copies of 
any further correspondence which has 
passed between his government and the 
government of the Dominion of Canada 
with reference to the question of the re- 
moval of the Indians troin the Songhees 
Reserve since the return dated 17th 
March, ISU7, was presented to this 
bouse. 

By Mr. Bryden — To amend sec. 2 of 
the Provincial Land Surveyor's Act 
Amendment Act, 1897, in committee ns 
follows: By inserting between the 
words " Canada " and " to " 111 the "lb 
line thereof the following words: "Or 
who shall have passed the examination 
for and served two years in any of Her 
Majesty's surveys or as an officer in Her 
Majesty's Royal Engineers." 

By Dr. Walkem— To move the follo.i - 
ing resolution: Whereas smallpox, 
cholera, plague and other infectious and 
contagious diseases have their homo in 
the Orient; and whereas communication 
between this country and the Orient is 
at the present time by means of the 
lines of large steamers which bring 
weekly to our shores a large number of 
Chinese and Japanese immigrants with 
their baggage direct from plague-strick- 
en sections of these countries; and 
whereas an epidemic of smallpox oc- 
curred in Victoria, Vancouver and Seat- 
tle in 1892, the source of in- 
bctiorj being brought in by one 
of the Oriental steamers; and whereas 
during the present year email pox has 
been brought by several of these vessels 
to William Head quarantine station; 
and whereas, the detention and disin- 
fection at William Head of vessels Etich 
as the Empresses are serious matters to 
our country commercially, and par- 
ticularly at the present initial stage of 
development of trade between this 
country and the Orient; and whereas, 
the present secretary of the provincial 
board cf health has paid a visit to China 
and Japan, and on his return stated to 
the city council of Victoria tho dangers 
of infection which the country is con- 
stantly exposed to by communication 
with tho East, and has recommended 
that tho quarantining of Oriental immi- 
grants and the disinfection of their hag- 
gage should be done before they are allow- 
ed to leave or embark at Oriental porlB; 
therefore be it resolved, that in the 
opinion of this house the Dominion gov- 
ernment should take such steps as will 
insure a proper detention in quarantine 
of intending Oriental immigrants nnd 
the disinfection of their baggage before 
embarking nt the variouajOriental porta, 
and that a humble addrcaa be presented 
to bis honor the Lieutenant-Governor, 
asking him ao communicate this resolu- 
tion to the Dominion Government,
